Depositions and examination - Henry Buckeridge

8 September 1841

From: 1841 To: 1841

William Smith, chimney sweeper of Leighton Buzzard - Buckeridge was in his employ on 26 August. He told Buckeridge to leave a sack of his at Richard Hounslow's at Wing. The previous morning 7th September he saw the sack on the shoulder of Richard Loveridge, a chimney sweeper at Leighton. He recognised it as his. Loveridge said he bought it from Henry Buckeridge. The sack is worth 1s. Richard Loveridge, chimney sweeper of Little Brickhill (Bucks) - on Thursday 2nd September he met Buckeridge at Dunstable. He or another boy with him said they would sell the sack. He agreed to give 8d for it - he thinks that is its full value. He gave Buckeridge 6d and paid for a pint of beer. The previous day Smith told him it was his sack. Henry Buckeridge - nothing to say
